If there's no jailbreak available for the iPhone 5 in the next year or so I might find myself buying a non-Apple smartphone for the first time ever.

Possession of marijuana and murder, two completely analogous things. I certainly hope all the people he victimized with his marijuana possession get compensated.

Too bad that some guy is going to spend years and years in prison over drug charges when he should really only be charged with theft but I guess the lesson is don't go stealing traceable devices when you're running a dope operation.

Reddit is a former link aggregator that people have repurposed into really, really crappy forums software. It's nearly impossible to have a long, coherent discussion with multiple participants because of how much effort is involved in keep

This led me to do some investigating and the fourth season of Arrested Development will not be available in Canada. I don't use Netflix but I pay for an account because I think it's the future of content delivery and I want to vote with my

On the old white MacBooks I personally liked the yellowing underneath where my wrists sat. It said to the world "hey, this guy is spending WAY too much time online and may have some hygiene issues he needs to work out."

I think some people want to blog without it seeming like one big advertising. Sometimes I read articles on startup blogs and think "why are they even writing about this" until I get 2/3rds of the way through and realize I'm reading an info

>Some of my guys are early risers, and work 7am - 3pm. Some of them sleep later than me, but then go home and work until 3am. As long as their work is getting submitted on time, I don't mind at all: I want people to be comfortable, and

Why is this on Hacker News? Because Twitter is tangentially involved?

If you're interested in this kind of thing I highly recommend Avdi's Objects on Rails book (it's free) and Destroy All Software's screencast collection.

I don't really like that simplification. Potatoes and wheat are both plants and people eat far too much of both.

The government recently changed the rules to make it more difficult to get a cheap mortgage, hopefully this will keep things from spiralling out of control.

People only want to carry one phone, but dropping $99 on an Ouya isn't going to prevent me from also being able to buy other consoles or PC gaming hardware. I'm thinking of buying one for the emulation alone.

Agreed, I'm getting kind of sick of these articles. It's like if the developer community here started posting fluff pieces about how you need to use the best programming languages and the most optimized frameworks. Maybe I'm out of step wi

At that point you're not adding anything to the conversation though, it's just noise. If you want to add vocal support to a comment you should at least expand on the points they brought up or provide some of your own reasoning.

Wouldn't this potentially muddy up his tests though? Now he's creating a lot of mocks for a simple create action. Not only that, but should the create action not be called "create_and_maybe_send_to_social_networks"?

I'm about 5-6 years into my Ruby programming career (and 5-6 years into my OO programming career) and this is something that I've been wondering about lately. When I read Design Patterns for Ruby Russ Olsen seemed to generally write classe

I'm interested in this but your introduction is a little lacking. "Hello, World" isn't really enough to get a feel for a framework, how about "Hello, To-Do App" or "Hello, Blog"? Regardless, congrats on your release!

Immigrants from where? How many of them were black and living in the inner city? Or white and living in rural poverty? Post WWII saw the rise of the middle class, it's not really fair to compare it to now and tell poor people "hey, just d
